It's the strangest feeling to be apart from him since we're attached all day. <BR/><BR/>But then there are nights like last night when he would not go to sleep and I would have done anything for just an hour to myself.

When I go in the office to "get away" and leave BD with Bumper so I can write a little, I spend most of my time looking at pics and movies of Bumper. I miss her when she's not on my hip.

I actually don't wait until they leave to start missing them. How fucked up is that? I start missing them 2-3 days before they leave. On "the day", I hug and kiss them as they pile into their dad's car, walk inside and think "What am I gonna do without them for a week?" <BR/><BR/>I don't want to think about college. I really don't. But I've got a senior in high school next year and it's coming at me at breakneck speed. <BR/><BR/>Great that you enjoy being with your kids, though.

I remember mssing the oldest when she was asleep as a baby. By the time time I got to # 4 I was so thankful for the rare quiet moment that I could have cried!

Like I spend all day looking for ways to escape from my babies, but as soon as they're down for the night there's that little bit of emptiness...and I think, "Tomorrow, I will be an attentive and involved mother who fully appreciates each beautiful moment she spends with her children!"
